Our story

Started by a contractor, run for contractors.

In 1984, CFM Equipment Distributors began with a simple idea in the back of Park Mechanical, an HVAC contracting company. Like many contractors at the time, the founding team understood the frustration of poor service, limited support, and distributors who felt disconnected from the realities of the field.

"Started by contractors, for contractors."

Rather than accept the status quo, they set out to build a distributor that understood what contractors need: people who answer the phone, solve problems, deliver on commitments, and stand beside customers when challenges arise.

More than four decades later, CFM continues that mission across a growing branch network, industry-leading product lines, training resources, technical support, and reliable product availability. Our purpose remains simple: helping our customers and employees succeed.
